Guess which new mobile app you won't be installing any time soon. :eek:

Security researchers are calling LinkedIn’s new mobile app, Intro, a dream come true for hackers or intelligence agencies. “I’m flabbergasted by this,” Richard Bejtlich, the chief research officer at the computer security company Mandiant, said in an interview on Wednesday. “I can’t believe someone thought this was a good idea.”

Technologically incompetent tools using a professional networking tool that was badly conceived in the first place are facing a security threat? Yawn.
 
Guess which article I won't be reading because I don't accept cookies from NYTimes.com?

"I can’t believe someone thought this was a good idea...” to block viewers who are concerned for their privacy from reading an article about how they should be concerned for their privacy.
 
I like how a bunch of people working in the tech industry who should know better are basically complete morons.
 
I'm surprised Apple and Google doesn't pull the app from their stores until LinkedIn get their shit together.
